Doppelherz® Active Fat Binder in detail
Double Heart® Active Fat Binder - For weight control as part of a fat-conscious diet
Doppelherz® Active Fat Reducer is a medical product for the treatment and prevention of overweight and obesity. It helps to reduce fat and calorie intake from food and thus supports a weight-reducing diet or weight control in combination with a fat-conscious diet.
Active ingredients
- 500 mg poliglusam
excipients
- magnesium stearate
- hypromellose
- silicon dioxide
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
The active ingredient OMTEC 50® contained in Doppelherz® Active Fat Binder has a high lipid binding capacity and reduces the absorption of fat and calories from food. It forms a gel-like substance in the stomach which mixes with the food and binds the fat in a non-soluble form so that it is excreted undigested.
